Answer:

The rock cycle is a constant transformation of rocks between the three rock types of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. If the sediments are buried behind other layers of sediment, they can lithify and form sedimentary rock. When rocks melt, magma is formed. Rocks form deep below the Earth, move and sometimes change, rise to the surface, and eventually return to their original location.
